The beer pub "Taki~AKANE~JapaneseBeer&SakeDining" on Dogenzaka in Shibuya will be open from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. on April 25. For the first two hours after opening, it will hold a Happy Time with 100 yen off, and the draft lineup will include Shirohonoka, Miyama Blonde, and Bay Dark.
Hop BroIn Dogenzaka, Shibuya, the fact that it opens at 2 p.m. on April 25 is already exciting. Taki~AKANE~JapaneseBeer&SakeDining is announcing beer pub service where you can drink from the afternoon.
MugiWhoa, from the afternoon!? And the first two hours after opening are Happy Time, so you feel like you’re already getting a deal right from the start!
Hop BroAnd the draft lineup has three beers: Shirohonoka, Miyama Blonde, and Bay Dark. The styles don’t drift too far apart, but there’s still real fun in drinking them side by side.
MugiWhat is that! Miyama Blonde sounds like a mountain spirit just from the name! What does the "richness of barley" taste like?
Hop BroMiyama Blonde is the kind of beer that shows off the outline of the malt rather than pushing hard with flashy hop aroma. In other words, it clearly brings out the sweetness and depth of the barley.
MugiOhhh! So Shirohonoka is more gentle? "Soft drinking feel" sounds like one of those beers that goes down really smoothly!
Hop BroExactly. Shirohonoka has a smooth mouthfeel and is easy to start with as your first beer. Then when Bay Dark comes in, the roasty dark character gives it a nice finish.
MugiI thought dark beer might be heavy, but hearing that you can slowly savor it makes it sound even more grown-up, in a good way!
Hop BroThe shop itself is nice because it stays calm with its 14-seat counter-centered layout. Since it promotes "Japanese craft beer and sake," you can enjoy not just the beer, but also how it pairs with snacks.
MugiIf they have fresh seafood too, that’s practically unfair! A tucked-away spot in Dogenzaka feels like a hidden retreat, which is so exciting!
Hop BroCome in during the day, ease into the first drink at Happy Time, and follow the changing drafts. That’s the kind of place it is. As a starting point for daytime drinking, it’s really solid.
MugiYeah, now I definitely want to go! Since it starts at 2 p.m., I can make it, and today I want to drink while deciding whether to start with the white beer or finish with the dark one!
